I got this idea when I spotted a cinnamon filling in the King Arthur Flour catalog. I'm not a culinary baker, but I'll bet you can come up with your own cinnamon filling ;-)
Cake:
1 vanilla cake mix (I used BC)
1 pkg cheesecake pudding mix
1 c flour
1 c powdered sugar
1/2 t salt
2/3 c Coffee Mate cinnamon bun coffee creamer (or vanilla)2/3 c water
4 egg whites
2 T oil
2 t vanilla extract or 1 dram of LoRann cheesecake flavoring
1 c mini-cinnamon chips ( KingArthurFlour.com )
Filling:
1 1/2 c Baker's Cinnamon Filling ( KingArthurFlour.com )
Combine everything (except the filling ingredients
(I apologize for not being very detailed!)
Combine cake ingredients; stir in cinnamon chips.
Mix filling with 1/4 c + 2 T water and spoon in to a piping bag.
Spread a little batter on bottom of pan; squeeze filling over batter in rings (like a target). Spread more batter over filling.
For torting, I recommend filling the pans less than 1/2 full so that you have 1" cakes. That way the filling stays intact as opposed to slicing a 2" cake in half.
